October Favourites

Today’s post is not only focusing on what products I have used during the past month and have impressed me the most, but also objects and moments I have remembered and made me feel something differen. Hope you find it useful and get ideas for your future beauty splurge list, or made you feel inspired to look and search for more positivity in your days. Because that’s exactly what I’m feeling about all these ‘favourites’. Don’t forget to comment below and share your favourites! Doesn’t matter what they are!

ProfiDerm Professional Washing and Cleansing Foam
This one was gifted to me a my dear friend of mine for my birthday, along with another product from the same brand. This one in particular is the only cleanser I’ve had that does its job in cleaning properly, but also hydrates my skin and leaves a nice feeling.

Maybelline Master Sculpt Contour & Highlighter
I’ve searched for a nice contour and highlight product for a really long time. So when I saw this one I instantly decided to buy it. There are 2 versions of this palette – one with a more browny shade, and another with darker, a little greyish tones. I bought the second one since I wanted the effect of contouring, not so much of bronzing my face here and there. The highlighter is more glowy, not quite shimmery. To be honest, not the to-die-for product but does what I want better than any other product I’ve tried before. It also has a small brush and a mirror – very convenient.

Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Eyeshadow Paint in 005 Golden Bronze
Autumnal vibes everywhere. I wanted to find a similar golden shade of eyeshadow a lot and was surprised that it’s not that shimmery, it’s actually more metallic. It can be put over other colours so as to create different looks (pink for rose gold, darker shadow for creating a smokier finish). Proof that you have to be creative with makeup. Most importantly, when applied it dries fast and stays all day! (wait for a review of a famous makeup palette soon on my blog!)

Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Hairtherapy Cell Perfector Mask
My hair was getting drier and drier especially after the summer months and the fact that I coloured it again to get a similar to my natural hair colour shade. I’ve used this mask only once or twice but it’s made my hair feel so softer and healthier. The only drawback is that I have to apply it on towel-dried hair, wait for 10-15 mins and wash it all off.

I love Cosmetics: Peachy Passionfruit; The Body Shop Chocomania; Cottage – Caramel
Maybe I’ve said before that I’m not very picky about my shower gels. I simply love a good old smell to enjoy while having these 10 or more minutes personal time a day.

Book of the month: “The Great Gastby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald
A brilliant novel about the glamorous time of the twenties when everything was big, expensive, diamond, gold, shimmering, it was all luxurious and opulent – the buildings, the clothes, the cars, the food, the attitude… I enjoyed the story about the fancy lives of the characters, see what their perspective and views are. A must-read for everyone who would like to travel back in time and be invited into this marvellous ball of the early 20th century history.

This photo was not taken with some fancy photographic equipment. I simply used my phone. While having a convo with a friend. While going home. Nothing too outstanding, however, the moment was special. The way this beautifully coloured yellow tree made me feel. It made me think how gorgeous some things are and how we don’t even try to notice them, because we are so “busy” all the time… Nonsense.
